Description
A vintage copy of Midnight Tales issue #8 published by Charlton Comics in July 1973, featuring the distinctive UK price variant with an 8p cover price. This issue stars The Midnight Philosopher and Arachne in the story “Amnesia” and showcases the quirky blend of horror, mystery and dark humour that became a hallmark of Charlton’s supernatural titles during the Bronze Age of comics.
The cover features memorable artwork depicting a chaotic dinner party interrupted by the sudden appearance of a genie-like figure emerging from a bottle, accompanied by the humorous caption, “That’s the last time we ask Coffin to bring the wine!” The combination of supernatural themes and tongue-in-cheek storytelling gives this series a unique identity among 1970s horror comics.
Presented in a protective sleeve, the comic appears to be in solid collectible condition with some expected signs of age and handling, including light edge wear, minor corner wear and some ageing visible along the lower edge of the cover. The colours remain vibrant and the issue displays very well, making it an appealing addition for collectors of Charlton horror comics, Bronze Age supernatural titles and UK price variants.
